I quite enjoyed this book, very Christmas-y indeed. There were quite a few parts where Nick had been rather intimate with Noel (even when he was still with Amber) which I found was unusual since he was already taken so I was uneasy when those parts came up. I really liked all the song and show/movie references which was a nice touch although I have no clue what those songs were but I get more recommendations!! I have spotted quite a few grammar mistakes which annoyed me a lot. There were quite a few mordern references like Tiktok, which I did not particularly like only when it was randomly thrown in when it didn't make sense to be there, but I quite liked it when it had the right context, like how Nick and Noel will send each other songs on Spotify, which I found really cute. This book was really funny, I really loved and adored the characters and the character development was really nice to see. Some of their makeout sessions were a bit random but I didn't really mind. I was quite amused by brand knockoffs when the author changes the name of the brands because of copyright since the sames were really out there. I really liked how Noel's granny underwear really had Grannies on them, which was hilarious!! I really liked that there was a playlist at the end of the book so that I can go ahead and listen to those songs :) Also Amber's quite an ass and I'm glad she changed!
